I don't think many work as they are OBD1, even our snap on Modis at work won't connect properly and that is a 5k diagnostics machine.

lol well these people that sell code readers saying they work from 1996 upwards then say only for american cars or light trucks is a ballock lol so is there any way of code reading it?

I think in OBD1 Rover cars they used a 'bridging' diagnostics socket, probably wrong. You had to get a paperclip and bridge some connector and it flashes a the light or something.

The T300+ will work fine on the MEMS1.9 and MEMS3 Freelanders, it will read fault codes and display live data.
It will also allow you to program fobs to the alarm system.
